Right now for a local weather change, we've had several freezes overnight in florida, but overall it's been way warmer than a normal winter! To me it's not that it's overall colder, or warmer but that it's more unstable.
The weather is so in flux that the temps fly up and down, and are extra hot in one region, and super cold in another. Does mean global warming is occuring? Could a overall warmer temp make more unstable weather patterns? Of course.
I don't know if I believe man is to blame for the global warming, but I am against polluting the air, seas, and land, in any case. I don't think the US should bow to any policys from the outside however. We should be changing our ways to a greener manner for our own good, not becuase france says we be shorting out the ozone layer. If other countries make their goods cheaper but don't do any poluttion control, then we should levy fees and tariffs on their products, so they stay at a competitive price with our own home-produced goods.
